This is necessary for the security of the Walker County Jail.

Please do not bring small children to the jail with you for visitation. The children cannot go back into the jail and children must be supervised at all times when at the Sheriff's Office for their own safety.

VISITATIONInmates have 1 hour per week for visitation and can have up to 2 visitors. You can split the hour up any way you want to. If an inmate has 2 visitors, they must come at the same time because if the 1st visitor leaves and there isn't a 2nd visitor ready to visit, the inmate will be transported back to his dorm and will not be available for further visits during that week. This is important with the hundreds of inmates we have and trying to organize the daily visitations.
